Answer 2

Two characteristics of Radon are:

1. It is a noble gas.

2. It is a radioactive element.

Radon

• Radon (Symbol = Rn) is a noble element with atomic number 86.
• Its ground state electronic configuration is [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p⁶.
• It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas.
• It is the densest noble gas.

What does noble gas mean?

• All elements of group 18 are called noble elements.
• They are called so because their octets/duplets (in the case of helium) are complete in the ground state.
• Thus, they tend to be unreactive and generally inert.
• Radon exists as a gas at room temperature, hence it is called a noble gas.

Radioactivity in Radon

• Radon shows radioactivity as it decays into other elements.
• It is itself a decay product in the decay chain of Thorium and Uranium.
• Its most stable isotope, ²²²Rn, has a half-life of 3.8 days.

Thus, these are some physical and chemical characteristics of Radon.
